Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham am Jr. is a man of may talents. It appears he has officially issued a test of arm power to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Beckham went viral after a video was posted of him throwing a football the length of the field. He has now challenged Rodgers and Mahomes to a throw-off to decide which player has the strongest arm,via Twitter:

This is not the first time Mahomes has been involved in such a challenge after he accepted the invitation from Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen earlier in the offseason. It seems Allen may have to find a way to get involved as a fourth contestant if this ever comes to fruition. Regardless, there is no question that such an event would draw plenty of interest.
Odell Beckham has easily established himself as one of the most electrifying players in the league and certainly makes a case for having the NFL's best hands. Unfortunately, he may be biting off more than he can chew with this challenge. There is no denying that the Browns' star has quite the cannon for a skill position player, however, it is still likely not enough to surpass the likes of his potential competition.
Rodgers has made the same distance throw on a hail mary while under duress with time running out on the clock. Meanwhile, Mahomes' uncanny arm strength helped further revolutionize the position during his MVP campaign in 2018. It will be interesting to see if any of these challenges actually come to fruition in the near future.
